CaroMont Sends Volunteers to Charlotte for Free Medical Clinic

Gastonia, NC – December 8, 2010- Yesterday, CaroMont Health sent a team of more than 40 medical and nonmedical
volunteers to the Charlotte Convention Center to assist in a one-day free
medical clinic for the uninsured. Volunteers participated in providing
checkups, tests and minor procedures for an estimated 3,000 participants.

The free clinic was hosted by “The Dr. Oz Show” and The National
Association of Free Clinics. The first free CARE clinic was held in Houston,
Texas and was broadcast live on “The Dr. Oz Show”. CaroMont
Health’s recent partnership with Dr. Memhet Oz’s Columbia
University Medical Center paved the way for CaroMont’s involvement
in Charlotte’s free CARE clinic.

“One of CaroMont Health priorities is to engage in health and wellness
efforts for members of our community,” said Rowena Buffett Timms,
Vice President of Public Policy and Partnerships at CaroMont Health. Dr.
Oz’s show brought attention to the fact that many people are unaware
of their health issues because they are unable to afford regularly scheduled
care. The CARE clinic encompasses our vision of promoting individual health
and vibrant communities. It is our goal to positively touch the lives
of every person we serve in the community whether insured or uninsured.”

According to the CARE clinic organizers, the average person who attends
the free clinic has not seen a doctor in seven years. All participants
will receive preventive primary care and will be connected to area resources
where patients can receive regular treatment on an ongoing basis.

“By participating in this clinic, we are able to touch thousands
of people’s lives who otherwise may never be able to seek treatment,”
said Timms.
